Aloha brother Manny,
I'll go along with brother Tim's "concerns":

But on the other hand, the man has testified strongly and clearly enough, that I wouldn't argue with him over his stand, or openly "criticize" or "fault" him for his stand. Nor would I hesitate to extend the right hand of fellowship to him. I have no right to
demand that all King James Bible believers hold the exact same convictions that I hold, and I don't want to end up being a "gnat" strainer, but I also believe that brother Tim's "concerns" are valid.
Unless or until he proves otherwise, I will accept that Shelton Smith is a "Bible believer".
